At ‘Kill the Bill’ rally, Bachmann compares Obama to Chavez

Chavez demonizes individualism, private enterprise, and free markets…

Sounds about right. First its fascism, then they start to nationalize…

Chavez and obama are so anti-liberal especially economically. Its the religion of government. They force you to be part of their collectivist church….

“Liberalism and capitalism address themselves to the cool, well-balanced mind. They proceed by strict logic, eliminating any appeal to the emotions. Socialism, on the contrary, works on the emotions, tries to violate logical considerations by rousing a sense of personal interest and to stifle the voice of reason by awakening primitive instincts.” Socialism p. 460 Ludwig von Mises (1922)

You said it, Classic Liberal. Way to tout Mises! I get to smile today after all!

“We are in deep trouble”.

Ooooookay….

Lunatic fringe…
I know you’re out there…

Every time I hear “news” about Michele Bachmann, that one-hit wonder Aldo Nova comes to mind.

THAT song, theo, is your theme song. Try not to get confused.

I would love to take a survey and see how many of the attendees of that rally are consumers of VA, Medicaid, or Medicare health care systems. Every one of them according to Bachmann are evil government run health care. I some very avow Republican friends that speak out about the evil government takeover of health care, but have no issues with their daughter consuming Medicaid to deliver their grandson. Hypocrisy at it’s best.

To Theoko:

Red Rider did Lunatic Fringe

Aldo Nova did Fantasy

I guess both prove your point though….

Great comparison, 0bama to Chavez. If the rules that govern your country don’t allow the control you desire, change the rules!

[...] Bachmann Goes Easy on the Obama-Pelosi Cabal– Rep. Michele Bachmann told the crowd that the radicals in Washington are acting like the Marxist leader Hugo Chavez. (Minnesota Independent) [...]

Why aren’t teabaggers rallying for the abolition of Medicare? Do they support government-run health care or don’t they?

The US is an EMBARRASSMENT. Right from National Geographic, which to these momos it must be “communist central” I guess:

Not quite sure what these crazies are screaming about. They must be either corporate stooges or simply just dumb enough not to realize that being raped by the insurance companies has nothing to do with freedom.

The insurance companies RAISE fees by almost 39% on the WEAKEST of the population not even two weeks and THESE Americans are defending them?

With patriots like these, who needs enemies…

She sure is crazy, but boy, is she pretty!

What a crazy lady. I signed up for her mailing list when she started to get semi-popular just to hear what she had to say, and now i keep getting these calls for “charitable donations”. Greedy woman!

“The insurance companies RAISE fees by almost 39% on the WEAKEST of the population”

“raped by the insurance companies has nothing to do with freedom.”

more false claims “scare” tactics…..who do you think is going to raise there rates when the Government runs your health care?? At least you have a right to not pay the insurance company…You gonna do that to the Gov, when they raise taxes and cut survice??

calling people names is your ingorance, when you have no facts.

If you want to pay for everyones “insurance” there is no one stoping you…But I dont see any of the “Obamacare” supporters doing so….

Put up or Shut up!!!

Anthem Blue Cross in California is the case where rates were hiked 39 percent. The company is increasing rates by 23% in Maine and 12-13% in New Hampshire, and in Iowa Wellmark Blue Cross and Blue Shield proposed an average 18% hike, which was delayed by the governor.

I don’t understand why Rep Bachman isn’t censored. I don’t care if she is against Democrat bills, but she should be censored for her words of violence. She makes outrages remarks and incites violence.

She should be a Conservative Radio host if she wants to be a shock jock and not a Representatives. She is so unprofessional and an embarassment to the state of Minnesota.

Notice the people in the video with NoObama shirts, and the logo of 1280 the Patriot.

So even with a corporate radio station and a corporate backed “think tank” backing the event.. all they could get was 1000 (maybe) people?

what a joke. and they try and convince people it is grassroots.

Just another astrotuff event.

Bachmann is the scariest person in politics today because she does not use either of her brain cells to think. She is the best argument against intelligent design I have ever heard of. I live in Minnesota and I do not know who scares me more – Bachmann or Pawlenty. Do not vote for them, do not take them seriously or we will be in more trouble than you can imagine, our freedoms and our money will both be gone.

Breeze – I’m wondering, have you talked to your friends and family about your wish for them not to consume any government health care services. And yes, I’m serious in this question. If you truly believe that health care offered by the government is the downfall of our nation, all similar patriots must stand up and not consume these public services such as Medicare and Medicaid plus advocate to others to do the same.

I’m not even going to mention other government services that also fall into many peoples definition of socialist such as police and fire which in the past were private and required people to pay monthly for their services. Don’t pay the raised fire defense costs, your house is allowed to burn. Consider it fire and crime insurance.

The United States is the only industrialized nation that doesn’t have some form of universal health care. We pay 3 times as much as those countries for access. I’ll be the first to admit we have awesome doctors and hospitals. That isn’t the issue, the problem is access. And if you can’t afford access that is the same as a death panel since only the rich can get access to that great care. The middle class and poor end up with rationed or denial of health care.

And to add another statistic. In some areas like up state Michigan many have to drive an hour or more for delivering a baby or pre/post natal care. The reason is that all the hospitals in 16 counties have closed their OB departments due to people being uninsured and unable to pay for delivering their babies. They have the highest child/mother mortality rate in the US. If they mothers had insurance and could cover the hospital costs, the outcomes would improve due increased accessibility.

It’s funny that Bachmann didn’t speak out as vociferously when the G. W. Bush tax cuts were pushed through Congress using reconciliation, tax cuts that helped only the top 1-2% of us. If the folks at this rally think she has their best interests in mind, they’d better think again. She’s in the 1-2% income category and could care less about what their lives are like other than to use them to push her own agenda. I wish these people would use Vote Smart to actually see how willing she has been to go to bat for them.

Attendance: No way was it under 1000, probably closer to 2000.

I love M. Bachmann – and those who actually attack the spending side of the equation and don’t just try to figure out ways to increase tax revenue.

As for the snarky comments that republicans should not take anything from the government lest they be hypocrites. That’s ridiculous. I oppose the social security system, but I am going to collect it when I retire (if it still pays anything out). I’d be *much* happier if I could keep the money that I pay in payroll taxes and invest it myself, but because the government forces me to be a part of their giant ponzi scheme, I will accept the negative real rate of return they will give me on my money. You expect me to be appreciative for that? Sorry!

Is Michelle Bachman committing TREASON upon the sitting US President?

MB just wants to stop me from getting free health care. I hate MB. She is wicked and dumb.

sigh – more angry white people trying to Take Back America from the colored people.

God bless Michele Bachmann. She is absolutely right about what she says. Obama and his agenda want to destroy our country. This is not about healthcare from Obama it is about control, government control over the lives of Americans.

Wild Thing writes that “This is not about healthcare from Obama it is about control, government control over the lives of Americans.”

Talk to many conservatives and you hear this paranoid refrain again and again. Forget the mountains of studies, statistics, white papers and analysis of our health care system over the years. Forget that we pay an enormous amount for our health care, more than any other country, and our results aren’t as good as those of many other countries. Hundreds of thousands of Americans are bankrupted by the private health insurance system, which would be unheard of anywhere else.

The same paranoid non-thought applies to global warming, the scientific theory of evolution and gay rights. There’s no underlying principle, science or knowledge at work. It’s all, apparently, about cabals of secularists/liberals/Marxists/fascists trying to find sneaky ways to wrest freedoms away from good, hard workin’, church goin’ patriots. Heck, you can still quite easily find right-wing cranks on the net decrying feminism as a communist plot.

Wild Thing (???) says: “This is not about healthcare from Obama it is about control, government control over the lives of Americans.”

So, then, we may assume that Wild Thing is pro-choice, and has no objection to doctor-assisted suicide? Those are two of THE most intrusive instances of government control over the lives of Americans.

Profit margins of insurance companies are 2%. Good luck getting that out of your utopian socialized medicine. Lefties have been killing babies for decades. Now they’re after everyone else.

Oh, and the hatred for Michele gives me the warm and fuzzies. You go girl!

Michele Bachmann is a very ugly woman on the inside.This woman is frighteningly insane.I sure am thankful she doesn’t represent me in congress.

About the Vid:
Michele Bachmann comparing our President to Chavez for using a tactic also used by Republicans many times in the past seems odd. Calling our President the “first post-American president” shows how un-American Bachmann is.

Pawlenty seems to be squirming in the background.

Thanks to the UpTake!

Thanks to the MinnesotaIndependent editorial staff for their photo selections. Ms. Bachmann is a very attractive woman. And an intelligent stateswoman too. Her district is very lucky.

A friend of mine was just at Mayo and ran into a Canadian that was on a waiting list in Canada for cancer treatments o he came to America.

Where will they go with socialized medicine?

The system needs repair, not more government control.

I recently came across my new favorite shirt sharing the same “Kill The Bill” sentiment.
